A bus gate along the spine road is a very bad idea. If you do then you will be creating 1200 houses, which will probably have more than 1200 cars, and putting them all onto the existing road network. This will create a lot of traffic congestion. The new spine road will be a great opportunity to relieve congestion at the Coldham's Lane/High Street junction by allowing some traffic to bypass it. It's fine to have a 20 mph speed limit and traffic calming on the spine road, but there must not be a bus gate.
